With Dental Implants, You Don’t Need to Hide Your Smile
Dental Implants have become a popular cure for people with missing
teeth. This dental solution has helped many people put an end to their
aesthetic misery. It has also helped improve the quality of life for
many people.
Dental implants act as a substitute and replacement for the roots
of teeth which are missing. Implants take on the role of an anchor for
replacement teeth. In this manner, they resemble natural teeth and are
anchored securely to the jawbone. This ensures that patients do not
experience the pain of exposed nerves or gum irritation which is seen in
other dental solutions such as dentures.
Losing teeth can cause a loss of mass in the jaw. This can take a
toll on the skeletal structure of the face resulting in drooping
muscles, thin lips or even jowls. With dental implants, this bone loss
can be stopped. In fact, dental implants “trick” the bone into thinking
that a tooth is still present. This prevention of bone loss will help
the patient preserve his or her youthful appearance.
Missing teeth can make patients feel self-conscious when they
talk. Such missing teeth can cause mumbling, clicking noises or even
slurred speech. With dental implants, patients can put an end to such
verbal misery because they allow patients to converse confidently in a
relaxed and natural manner.
Many patients who have missing teeth may have to miss out on a
wide range of food items too. However, dental implants can bring back
your chewing efficiency to normal so that you can go back to eating your
favorite hard and chewy foods.
Dental implants feel, function and look exactly like natural
teeth. With dental implants, your beautiful smile can be restored. If
